In a dark dungeon.

Tao Rong leaned against the wall to rest when he suddenly heard the sound of chains.

The jailer said: "Don't wait too long for Tao Nushi, she will come out within half a stick of incense at most."

Tao Ning hummed, and handed over a piece of broken silver.

Tao Rong rolled his eyes and looked at her.

One is a well-dressed, clean and tidy prince's son Shi.

One is a prisoner who is covered in filth and stinks.

Tao Rong lowered his eyes: "Sister, what are you doing here? If I die for you, you can rest assured that I didn't argue to anyone that I am innocent."

Tao Ning smiled when he heard this.

"Rong'er, it hurts me to say that. I came here to see you, and I brought you so many delicious dishes, all of which you loved before."

She lifted the lid of the food box, and the smell of rice wafted out, but Tao Rong didn't even look at it.

Tao Ning walked two steps closer and squatted down.

"Rong'er, don't worry, as long as you get rid of this crime, when the crown prince ascends the throne, I will plead with him and release you."

Tao Rong lowered his head and smiled wryly.

Ever since he entered this prison, he knew that this fate was not up to him, but to God.

At this time, there were several "creaking" sounds from the corner.

Tao Ning turned his eyes and saw a few big mice running past the wall.

In the past, she was most afraid of mice, but when she saw them today, she couldn't help licking her lips and swallowing.

I don't know why, but the smell of the rice is not as good as those few running mice.

Tao Rong didn't notice the change in his sister, but after thinking about it, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat.

He didn't want to disappoint Tao Ning's kindness.

Tao Ning looked away.

She stood up and said with a smile: "Then you eat first, and I'll send someone to collect food in the evening."

After that, he left.

At night, a little maid came to collect the food box.

Coincidentally, Kou Yuexi also came to deliver food to Tao Rong, and ran into this little maid.

When Kou Yuexi learned that Tao Ning had delivered food to Tao Rong, she pursed her lips in disgust.

Tao Ning is fake compassion.

However, when Kou Yuexi and the little maid came to Tao Rong's cell, they found that Tao Rong was unconscious!

Kou Yuexi turned pale with shock: "Jailor, come and open the door!"

After the jailer turned Tao Rong over, he discovered that he was foaming at the mouth.

They quickly called the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.

The imperial doctor said: "The prisoner should have taken a small amount of anesthesia. Anesthesia can cause convulsions, foaming at the mouth and unconsciousness. In severe cases, it can cause suffocation and death."

Kou Yuexi was furious: "Check! Why are good people locked up here, why are they poisoned!"

In the end, the imperial physician actually found out this kind of numbness in the leftover food that Tao Ning sent.

Kou Yuexi was about to settle accounts with Tao Ning immediately, but was held tightly by her own little maid.

"Miss, the master said that now that Tao Ning is the female historian next to His Royal Highness, in order not to make it difficult for His Royal Highness, you'd better leave this matter alone!"

"Don't care? Why should I not care, Tao Ning actually wants to kill her own brother, she is so vicious!" Kou Yuexi was furious, gnashing her teeth.

Tao Ning definitely wants Tao Rong to die in prison, and in the end, there will be no evidence of his death, and the murder case will be closed.

Kou Yuexi tightened the handkerchief: "If I don't punish her, I won't be able to vent my anger. Since I won't embarrass His Highness the Crown Prince, I just don't make matters worse."

After finishing speaking, she called the little maid to come forward and whispered a few instructions.

the next day.

When Tao Ning came out of the East Palace, he was invited away by Kou Yuexi's little maid.
